Murine and human cathepsin Z: cDNA-cloning, characterization of the genes and chromosomal localization. (1/15)
A novel murine cysteine protease from the family of papain-like cysteine proteinases was identified by dbEST-database search. A 1. 4-kb full-length cDNA encoding a predicted polypeptide of 306 amino acids was characterized. The new protease, tentatively named cathepsin Z, exhibits all features characteristics of a papain-like cysteine protease, including the highly conserved residues of the 'catalytic triad'. Cathepsin Z shares only 26-35% overall homology with previously described mammalian papain-like cysteine peptidases and has an unusually short propeptide, which may indicate that it is a member of a putative new subfamily within the family of papain-like cysteine peptidases. Genomic clones covering the murine and human cathepsin Z genes were isolated. They comprise six exons and five introns spanning a 12-kb region of genomic DNA, respectively. Murine cathepsin Z was mapped to chromosome 2, a region with synteny homology to a region of human chromosome 20 to which human cathepsin Z has been mapped previously. Northern blot analysis revealed ubiquitous expression of murine cathepsin Z. Multiple transcriptional start sites were identified for the murine cathepsin Z gene and together with the absence of a TATA box, a high G+C content, a CpG island and the presence of several Sp1-binding sites in the promoter region, murine cathepsin Z may be classified as a 'housekeeping' gene.

The secretory pathway is composed of membrane compartments specialized in protein folding, modification, transport, and sorting. Numerous transient protein-protein interactions guide the transport-competent proteins through the secretory pathway. Here we have adapted the yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-based protein fragment complementation assay (PCA) to detect protein-protein interactions in the secretory pathway of living cells. Fragments of YFP were fused to the homooligomeric cargo-receptor lectin endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC)-53, to the ERGIC-53-interacting multi-coagulation factor deficiency protein MCFD2, and to ERGIC-53's cargo glycoprotein cathepsin Z. YFP PCA analysis revealed the oligomerization of ERGIC-53 and its interaction with MCFD2, as well as its lectin-mediated interaction with cathepsin Z. Mutation of the lectin domain of ERGIC-53 selectively decreased YFP complementation with cathepsin Z. Using YFP PCA, we discovered a carbohydrate-mediated interaction between ERGIC-53 and cathepsin C. We conclude that YFP PCA can detect weak and transient protein interactions in the secretory pathway and hence is a powerful approach to study luminal processes involved in protein secretion. The study extends the application of PCA to carbohydrate-mediated protein-protein interactions of low affinity.

(+info)Cathepsin Z is a protease enzyme that is primarily found in the lysosomes of cells. It is involved in the degradation of various proteins, including extracellular matrix proteins, and has been implicated in a number of biological processes, including tissue remodeling, inflammation, and cancer. In the medical field, cathepsin Z has been studied as a potential therapeutic target for a variety of diseases, including osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. It has also been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Cathepsins are a family of proteolytic enzymes that are found in the lysosomes of cells. They are responsible for breaking down a variety of proteins, including enzymes, hormones, and cellular debris. In the medical field, cathepsins are of interest because they play a role in many physiological processes, including cell growth and differentiation, immune function, and the degradation of damaged proteins. They are also involved in a number of pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory disorders. As such, cathepsins are the subject of ongoing research in the field of medicine, with the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies based on their activity.
Cathepsin K is a protease enzyme that plays a crucial role in the degradation of bone matrix, particularly during bone resorption. It is primarily expressed in osteoclasts, which are specialized cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue. Cathepsin K is involved in the cleavage of specific bone proteins, such as osteocalcin and osteopontin, which are essential for bone remodeling and maintenance. In the medical field, cathepsin K is a target for the development of drugs to treat osteoporosis, a condition characterized by low bone density and increased risk of fractures. Additionally, cathepsin K has been implicated in several other diseases, including cancer, inflammatory disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Cathepsin B is a protease enzyme that is found in the lysosomes of cells in the human body. It plays a role in the degradation of proteins and other molecules within the cell, and is involved in a number of cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). In the medical field, cathepsin B has been studied in relation to a number of diseases and conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infections. For example, cathepsin B has been shown to be involved in the development and progression of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. It has also been implicated in the development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, and in the pathogenesis of certain viral infections, including HIV and influenza. In addition to its role in disease, cathepsin B has also been studied as a potential therapeutic target. For example, drugs that inhibit the activity of cathepsin B have been investigated as potential treatments for cancer and other diseases.
Cathepsin L is a protease enzyme that is found in the lysosomes of cells in the human body. It is involved in the degradation of proteins and plays a role in the normal turnover of cellular proteins. Cathepsin L is also involved in the immune response, as it is activated during the process of phagocytosis, in which immune cells engulf and destroy pathogens. In addition, cathepsin L has been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory conditions.
Cathepsin D is a protease enzyme that is primarily found in the lysosomes of cells. It is involved in the degradation of proteins and peptides, including those that are involved in cell signaling and the turnover of extracellular matrix components. In the medical field, cathepsin D is often studied in relation to cancer, as it is overexpressed in many types of tumors and is thought to play a role in tumor growth and progression. It is also being investigated as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
Amyloid beta-Protein Precursor (AβPP) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. It is a transmembrane protein that is primarily found in the brain and is responsible for the production of amyloid-beta peptides, which are the main components of the amyloid plaques that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. AβPP is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and is transported to the Golgi apparatus, where it is processed into different forms. One of the main forms is the amyloid-beta peptide, which is produced by the cleavage of AβPP by enzymes called beta-secretase and gamma-secretase. The accumulation of amyloid-beta peptides in the brain is thought to be a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The peptides can aggregate and form insoluble plaques, which can disrupt the normal functioning of neurons and lead to the death of brain cells. In addition to its role in Alzheimer's disease, AβPP has also been implicated in other neurological disorders, such as frontotemporal dementia and Parkinson's disease.
Cystatin C is a small protein that is produced by most cells in the body. It is a member of the cystatin family of proteins, which are known to play a role in regulating the activity of cysteine proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Cystatin C is primarily filtered by the kidneys and is excreted in the urine. It is a useful biomarker for assessing kidney function, as its levels in the blood and urine can be used to detect and monitor kidney disease. In addition to its role in kidney function, cystatin C has been implicated in a number of other biological processes, including inflammation, cell proliferation, and cancer.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, a condition characterized by a decline in cognitive abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. The disease is named after Alois Alzheimer, a German psychiatrist who first described it in 1906. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, including amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. These deposits disrupt the normal functioning of brain cells, leading to their death and the progressive loss of cognitive abilities. Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease typically begin with mild memory loss and gradually worsen over time. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience difficulty with language, disorientation, and changes in personality and behavior. Eventually, they may become unable to care for themselves and require around-the-clock care. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but treatments are available to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected by the disease. These treatments may include medications, lifestyle changes, and support from caregivers and healthcare professionals.
Cystatins are a family of cysteine protease inhibitors that play important roles in regulating the activity of proteases in the body. They are found in a variety of tissues and fluids, including blood, saliva, and pancreatic juice. Cystatins are synthesized as inactive precursors that are activated by proteolytic cleavage. Once activated, they bind to and inhibit the activity of cysteine proteases, which are enzymes that cleave proteins at specific cysteine residues. This inhibition helps to regulate the activity of these proteases and prevent them from causing damage to cells and tissues. Cystatins have been implicated in a number of physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
